The Brookfield R-3 Board of Education met in regular session.

A resolution was passed that calls for a special election to be held on April 3rd to authorize an increase in the district's operating tax rate ceiling by $0.90 to $4.27 per $100 of assessed valuation in tax year 2012 and there, after, with a decrease of $0.40 to $3.87 per $100 of assessed valuation in tax year 2019 and thereafter. Jeff Vogel and Dennis Fletcher were the only candidates who filed for the two open board seats, so the district will not have to submit a ballot issue on April 3rd. A report was given that the Linn County Governing Board officially voted to change the name of the Brookfield Area Career Center to the Linn County Area Career and Technical Center.
